You turn the world upside down looking for Kona Ash only to find 5 yards of it in one of your cabinets. I've been meticulous about organizing my yards, fat quarters, etc... but I have yet to tackle my cabinet of yardage.

Randi was so kind to let me know that she has the ever elusive Kona Ash in her shop and I was just about ready to buy some when I decided to double check the cabinet of shame. Good thing I did but for all of ya'll who can't find it, Randi has some!

NeedledMom! Congrats to you! If you will email me your address, I'll pass it along and have your book and ruler on their way.

Too funny about the Ash, but I can TOTALLY relate! Isn't it great that you husband is learning the "lingo"?! I took (drug) my kids to a local quilt show, and was SO impressed at their mastery of the language and their appreciation of the work that went into the quilts... and they're tween/teen boys! So nice to know that they DO actually listen and pay attention, even if we don't think they are ;-).

I see these cute headbands everywhere! Chaney wore them for softball and I've probably spent a total of $75 on them for h...
